Halliwell has become the dumping ground of Bolton, the streets are full of gangs of kids drinking from the many off licences (there are four within 100 yards of Rushy Fold Lane) as well as drug dealing around Elgin Street.

The Council want to limit the number of takeaways yet give away alcohol licences like they are going out of fashion, that's why there's only 5 pubs left on Halliwell Road.

I wish I could afford to move.

I wonder what nationality the persons involved are?

This Town just goes worse by the day. Why the council keep talking about the town center is beyond me, why can they not get busy with the demolition of the areas around Halliwell & Blackburn road. Clear the lot ,it can only be an improvement for the Town.

It's not the area, it's the people, I have friends in halliwell and lived there as a child, it was great growing up in Halliwell. Jim271 is right, cut down on the off licences and take always....seems to me bolton is full of them!

‘Leafy Suburb’ what Rushey Fold Lane, I presume the resident is referring to the overgrown trees opposite that use to form part of Holy Harbour Football Ground but are now just a dumping area for rubbish, especially since the building of Rusheylea Close in 1998!

Halliwell is a dump, as for off licences, don’t include AK’s Grocery’s on Elgin Street... the owner there wouldn’t serve me alcohol even when I was 30 and the same age as his children who I use to play with!

It's a total shame! Halliwell is full of lovely people, I've lived in or around there for nearly 30 years! It really saddens me to see what it's become but then again the vast majority of bolton is the same! Not all us hallwellians are 'pond life' me and my family and friends also from Halliwell would strongly disagree with that! Let's face it, Halliwell has become the dumping ground of foreigners and that's the problem with bolton in general! I'll look forward to when the other areas in bolton end up in the same boat as Halliwell and then People start to bad mouth your area, what's happened to Bolton a place I used to be so proud to come from!!

I agree with many of the comments above. However in reply to those saying things like clear the area etc I would say this. When the anti social residents of The Haulgh were cleared out of that area a few years ago it may have solved many of the problems that area was experiencing however these people simply moved to other parts of town. Many from the area moved to Halliwell bringing their lifestyle of drink, drugs and prostitution with them.

Cliff Morris and his cronies are what has happened to Halliwell. I feel desperately sorry for all the decent, law-abiding residents anywhere who have to live in what have become dumping grounds in exchange for votes, cash funding and ideology without sufficient infastructure or proper integration. Does Cliff live in his ward? Thought not....

Your correct. Perhaps our British drug dealing scroats have some red lines even they wont cross when it comes to slavery, female abuse & things we cant even imagine.

Yet another one whose very basic grammar is abysmal. Rushey Fold Lane a leafy suburb? FFS, who is this chap trying to kid? Plenty top folks live in Halliwell, but sad to say it's a dump.

Looks like the punters weren't the only ones 'banging open back doors'! :-)

Most landlords/ladys tend to give their property to an agency to find a tenant. The agency looks over the whole process on behalf of the client . The client receives a payment at the end of the month minus the commision.

Also one example ex footballer robbie fowler owns about 100 properties around merseyside/cheshire.
u dont expect him to be on first name terms with all his tenants. Just imagine him keeping tabs on all his tenants. Pheww

Haliwell no different than tongue moor, breightment and oldhams estate just that they have white indiginous people peddling drugs, binge drinking and claiming benefits instead of the eastern europeans

Heroin from Afghanistan & Turkey.
Cocaine from South America.
All the above from Eastern Europe + e + many others.
Cannabis from the UK produced by all nationalities.
Which came first the seller or the drug buyer ?

That was very kind of your mother to leave them behind due to the type of men that need them to enter and probably exit if a dolly bird is inside ! Unless she was lost of course as you don't see many dolly birds in Halliwell !!

Long time since I heard the phrase dolly bird. Isn't it non-PC to say that now.

Halliwell has become the dumping ground of Bolton, the streets are full of gangs of kids drinking from the many off licences (there are four within 100 yards of Rushy Fold Lane) as well as drug dealing around Elgin Street.

The Council want to limit the number of takeaways yet give away alcohol licences like they are going out of fashion, that's why there's only 5 pubs left on Halliwell Road.

I wish I could afford to move.

I reckon the nationality is probably white British. I know just what you mean about Bolton being a dumping ground. Next door to me there's a bunch of drunks who binge everyday and are a noisy nuisance at night. They sell something probably illegal. But I don't know why they trade, when their rent is paid for in part by taxes paid from my Islamic bank account. I wish they could afford to move.
Probably linked to the British whites who were in the news this week regarding drug dealing,

Doesn't matter. It was Hungarians who got caught. However there are most defintely white brothel managers, black brothel managers, Asian brothel managers (I am Asian). My point is that nationality is irrelevant and people like you seem to enjoy starting a slander campaign against people of ethnic minorities.
And for the record, pubs pump out as many drunks as the bargain booze does. Both are unwelcome in my opinion.

Yes i agree there are all kinds run brothels & thats why i wondered why your racist comment only mentioned it was " probably white British". Also the drug dealers you mentioned are Irish. People who drink in pubs pay for a legal service & they cause no trouble except for a few idiots that are in every nation of people & also there is very rarely any trouble in the pubs on Halliwell rd if you check your facts.
